Standard coating system can be further reinforced by placing Sika Fab 1 fabric
st nd
layer in between 1 and the 2 coat.
Substrate Quality Clean and dry, homogeneous, free from oils and grease, dust and loose or friable
particles, paint, cement laitance, old coatings and any other contaminants.
Substrate Preparation Cementitious substrates should be pre-saturated surface dry with clean water.
Mixing Refer to the table above for all applications
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with clean water immediately after use.
Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
Application Method / Mechanically clean the surface area by wire brush, scarifying, sand blasting,
Tools grinding, etc.
® ®
Repair existing crack and damages with Sika Cracksil / Sika Quick Mortar.
Saturate the surface with water (SSD condition) prior to application of coating.
In case of minor depressions, surface to be levelled using mortar in the proportion
1kg cement : 1.5kg silica sand : 0.5kg Sika® CemCrete.
®
Sika CemCrete polymer is mixed with neat fresh cement in the ratio 2 parts of
OPC: 1part Sika® CemCrete polymer by weight. The mix is to be stirred
thoroughly using mechanical stirrer till homogeneous slurry is obtained. No air
bubbles or lumps should be visible.
Two or more coats are recommended with a re-coating interval of 5 - 6 hours. A

 ®
glass fibre mesh of Sika Fab 1 can be laid between the 1st and the 2nd coat to
improve the tensile properties of the coating system.
Moist curing should be done for a period of 24 hours by spraying / sprinkling of
potable water after about 6 hours from the time of application of the final coat.
After moist curing the coating shall be allowed to dry before submersion in water.
® ®
A protection screed using Plastocrete Plus/Sikacim is recommended for covering
the coating for greater durability.
Important
Recommendation Sika® CemCrete should not be used without addition of cement.
